What of-the-moment, unoriginal costume will you be seeing all over the place this Halloween? The Miley Cyrus Twerking Costume, and specifically the Miley Cyrus Twerking At The VMAs Costume. AKA "Slutty Miley Cyrus."
There are both male and female versions of this thing available, and the styles range from sort-of-authentic to shitty t-shirt—but guys, if we're gonna do this, let's put a little effort into it? Pick the best Miley for you. Maybe you're the VMAs Miley, maybe you're the "We Can't Stop" Miley, maybe you're "The Wrecking Ball" Miley we're not here to judge. Or maybe you just go with a generic Miley wherein you just wear grillz, a Twerking finger, and stick your tongue out a lot. Maybe you're still more Hannah Montana? Maybe you're just "dancing with Molly"?
Anyway, if you want to get a little more creative, HalloweenCostumes.com has put together a tutorial of how to draw some of Miley's moments out and turn them into a costume. Might we recommend your Robin Thicke partner keep the Beetlejuice mask on, though?
We also highly recommend going FULL MEME if you must go Miley Cyrus with your Halloween costume—anyone know where to get a Nic Cage mask?
